Day 1: Saturday March 31st
I decided I'm going to mark my days by when I actually went running as opposed to calendar days.
My goal was to run for 20 minutes. I have enough of a running background to still be a snob about it- walking is unacceptable. 20 minutes was a good goal.
This was my first run since the end of July 2011. I had planned on running all through being preggo but that ended up not being possible. The doc told me in August no running. I was 13 weeks preggo. By the time I got the all clear to start up again I was 20 weeks along and officially out of shape. I thought it was best not to start up until after the baby was born. So here we are! 6 weeks post baby and run #1 in the books!
The beginning of the run was strange. My legs were tight and it was weird to be running again. But that soon passed and I felt great! It was amazing to be out in the sun! I started to feel like it was my first run at minute 19. I ended up running exactly 25 minutes (there I go setting the bar low for myself again). Don't ask how far I went, I have no idea. I would be shocked if it was even close to 2 miles. My concern right now is time out running, not pace or distance.
